Top class macro lens!

I suspect George is refering to DP Review

PDML: Pentax Discuss Mailing List. American-based, but along with the expected machismo there are also several very talented photographers. Look out for Ken Waller, amongst others.

And their monthly competition:

Whinge-Centre, or DePressing Review, is for people who think their poor results are because they aren't using the right gear, or it's faulty, or anything other than their own lack of talent. A good antidote for when you feel the world is full of wonderful people.

Run by a man who likes detail, but may not always appreciate the big picture.

Some excellent shots in there George, but a few are a little off topic don't you think.

A large percentage of the shots were taken using the DA 16-45 I also noticed.

I was perhaps wrong to call it a competition. It's more a showcase, and it is within the rules to submit off-topic pictures. So the off-topics are actually on-topic.

Prior to the FA* 16-50, the DA 16-45 was the thinking man's kit lens upgrade. I wouldn't mind betting it is quite a popular lens here too, amongst the better photographers.

I notice you have one!

Actually I no longer have it, I sold mine to Martin (malo) some time ago.
